The TWO WAY LENS Interview: Sandra Dyas
Another interview has been added to the TWO WAY LENS - project. Please come and read a very interesting contribution by Sandra Dyas, which is a worthy continuation to the themes and wisdom already provided by: Magnum photographers Martin Parr and Alec Soth, Amy Stein, Andrew Phelps, Deborah Hamon, James Friedman, Jessica Todd Harper, Richard Renaldi, Ron Jude, David Hilliard, Susan Wides, Aline Smithson, Terry Weifenbach, Tim Hailand, Lori Nix, William Greiner, Zoe Strauss, Tema Stauffer, Tony Mendoza, Tierney Gearon, Scott Passfield, Russ Martin, Hiroshi Watanabe and Oliver Weber. Sandra Dyas is a photographer and teacher based in Iowa City, Iowa. Her work is widely exhibited and published and she was selected to be the photographer for Iowa for The 50 States Project. About Two Way Lens: Two Way Lens is a project of interviews with international, contemporary photographers. Their answers to three simple questions about their career paths, presented in this project, should help, inspire and inform emerging photographers. The tips and advice provided will be of value to every young photographer. A new photographer/ interview is added to the project every month. The list of photographers already included is like a "whos who" of the contemporary fine art photography scene. As a reflection of this high value, Two Way Lens will be added to recommanded reading lists as a reference source for photography students at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design. Two Way Lens is published and edited by the German photographer, Michael Werner. My second living room

For Down These Mean Streets Will Steacy and Michael Mazzeo Gallery produced a tabloid-style newspaper with images, journal entries, maps, and notes. The editor of Conscientious - Joerg Colberg - has raffled off a couple of editions on his blog. And I was lucky. Many thanks to Will, Michael and Joerg. I enjoyed the paper very much! Cologne
On my way to the group schow in Bochum, curated by Gestaltentreffen at the Freies Kunst Territorium gallery - where a selection of my MARRAKECH images has been shown - I stopped over in Cologne. And it was really nice to spend my time in the Cologne Cathedral. Heidelberg
Heidelberg is worth a visit. Even just for a few hours, as I have experienced it last weekend.
Alice Springs in Berlin
Starting in 1970, June Newton created own photographic works under the pseudonym Alice Springs. These have been exhibited regularly at the Helmut Newton Foundation since 2005, namely in "June's Room." The current retrospective in Berlin provides for the first time a comprehensive look at the four decades that span her work, presenting photographs from advertising and fashion as well as nudes and portraits. Her own photographic oeuvre began with a bout of influenza suffered by Helmut Newton in Paris, 1970. June Newton had her husband show her how to handle the camera and light meter and in his place photographed an advertisement for the French cigarette brand Gitanes. The portrait of the smoking model would be the jumpstart of a new career. In the early 1970s, Alice Springs shot several campaigns for the French hair stylist Jean Louis David; the photographs appeared under her byline as full-page ads in renowned fashion magazines. 1974 saw the first Alice Springs cover image adorning French Elle. By this time she had also received innumerable commissions for portraits, some of which have become iconic. The roster of artists, actors and musicians depicted by Alice Springs over the last 40 years reads like a "who's who" of the international cultural scene on both sides of the Atlantic. She does more than document the appearance of celebrities and anonymous contemporaries; she captures their charisma, their aura. It might be that her deep knowledge of acting helps, how to simultaneously look at and beyond the human façade. Her images are visual commentaries that interpret the photographed (© The Helmut Newton Foundation). |
